Let’s get personal, shall we? I’ve been here a while now, and as I’m feeling quite comfortable at Mastodon, I’d like to share a bit more about myself beyond my passion for the climate and the environment.
To begin with, I’m a male, he/him, hetero, strongly supporting LGBTQ rights. I’m a baby boomer, born at 312 PPM 🌏, a United Statesian, although I lived in Europe (mostly Hungary) for several years, and traveled extensively for work before retiring in 2012. I’ve never been good at sustaining long-term romantic relationships, and I’ve finally settled into comfortable singlehood.
I like to say I’m made of contrasts.
For example, I’m rather funny and quite personable, but I don’t enjoy small talk and I hate parties. I currently live in the Bible Belt, but I’m an outspoken atheist. While I can easily fit into most social situations, I don’t feel comfortable around large groups and prefer being alone most of the time. I live near two huge military bases, but I detest the USA’s militaristic, troop-worshiping culture. I’m almost always cheerful, which masks my deeply felt existential nihilism. I’m a neat freak, but also rather lazy, preferring fun over work.
I’ll finish up with some hashtags to add flavor...
@breadandcircuses Thanks for the intro B&C. We share many fundamental interests, mine include chickens/coffee/trees. I've spent my working life thus far toiling on Cdn cutblocks, replacing toilet paper stock. Travel intermittently with my family and play as much music as time permits Clean air & water are basics we all share, regardless of class. Living Infrastructure has a place for everyone.

Bonsoir, sorry for my english, I'm french ;-D
I read, now, for the 1st time: "born in...PPM". I did'nt know before. I learned something, this evening.
In France, we say: "I will go to bed less stupid this evening."😀
Kind regards.
@breadandcircuses any areas of Hungary resonate with your stateside areas? Boiled down, how similar are folks over there as compared to our humid countryfolk? #fellowatheistinthebiblebelt
@breadandcircuses I'm also in the Bible Belt, I sometimes feel like I'm living in an authoritarian country instead of the US. You need to share how you stay cheerful despite nihilism. I tend to feel that human civilization is doomed because people running the world are too greedy to think about future generations. I tend to feel existential dread.
